How to Make Bread from Scratch- NO BREADMAKER NEEDED (VIDEO)
In this video I show you step-by-step the way I was taught to make your own bread at home with no fancy equipment or machines. This method and recipe is super easy to do and anyone can do it. It is also a versatile recipe that allows you to throw in any extra ingredients or mix-ins like fresh or dried herbs, spices, purees, etc.
Let me know what ingredients you put in your bread when you try out this recipe! I love to hear from you!
INGREDIENT LIST:
1 1/2 cups of hot water (103-108 degrees F)
1/2 teaspoon of honey or sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of dry yeast
1-2 teaspoons of salt (start with 1 tsp if you don’t like it salty)
1 tablespoon of oil (any oil is fine… olive oil, canola oil, peanut, etc.)
1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
white bread flour added in 1/2 cup increments until needed consistency is reached
any extra ingredients- fresh or dried herbs, spices, seasonings, oats, raisins, pumpkin puree, etc.

Fabulous. I am not keen on cooking but you make this look interesting to try.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! Very informative, quick and not boring! No annoying music and effects! I subscribed!
thanks comrade
Magic!
This is a great lesson! I'm going to bake first thing in the morning and add dried cherries and walnuts. Thank you! I love your personality, and that you get right to the point without a lot of chit chat! I can't wait to watch your other videos.
I need help with this recipe! I tried 2 times the yeast, and both times it didnt give the same result as her. My yeast doubles, but it never fills the bowl, theres about 1/2 of the bowl that stays as normal water with yeast in the bottom. You seem to be putting a LOT more yeast than me, are you sure it's really teaspoon? I bought yeast in individual envelope and it's the same company as yours (fleischmann's). However, on the back of the envelope, it says to put 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) for every 1/4 cup of water. This would mean I would need to add 6x more than what I did on both attempts.
i also changed bowl as I thoguht maybe mine wasnt large enough so the level of the water was too high. Didnt do anything, same result
Hi Thank you so much for this fantastic video. It was super helpful. I tried it out, and it was decent for a first time ever! Followed it almost to the tee. The crust was a little harder, and the middle a bit softer than I want it. Any idea what would have been the issue and what should I adjust? I'm sure it's something simple like tweaking one of the steps in the process… knead it less, or leave it longer in the owen, or give it more time to rise. Any ideas or advice would be super helpful.
You do such a well job of presenting information haha
Good job explaining
And you sew too! My new hero. I'm so so so glad you made this video Thank you 😀
The cuts aren’t decorative, there for letting the steam to escape
You don’t even need oil bread is simplistic as hell flour, salt, water, yeast but oil and whatnot add flavor good job
Bleached flour?….Nope, stone ground is much healthier for you. Bleached is nothing but garbage in a bag.
If you knead Dough long enough it will stop sticking to your hands. In my humble opinion you've already got too much flour in your dough and it is not kneaded enough since it still sticks. Why are you still adding flour? Thank goodness I don't make bread like you. Sometimes I even oil my counter top and hands and knead away without loading it down with flour. It would have been kind of nice if you actually sliced the bread to see what the crumb looked like. Personal I'm unimpressed and yes I make bread all of the time. I can see why you got so many thumbs down.
Also, instead of using Active Dry Yeast, I use Bread Machine Yeast now and add it to the dry ingredients. Not only don't I have to fart around with letting Active Dry Yeast ferment but I get a much better flavor.
Thank you so much for your video. I hope to try your recipe as soon as I recover from shoulder surgery.
At first when I saw the ingredients on the table I was having a panic attack thinking that's a lot but it wasn't…Im just having one of those days!
Thankyou! I love to cook.
Enjoyed your tutorial.
Will try this first chance I get!

Do you need bread flour? It's too expensive.
